Oh Henry

I did not expect to find such peace

Or for your presence to be so strong

Sometimes, I now know

That you just have to wait


Of course sunshine

And blue skies always helps


How long was the creation of this work

How long will take its deconstruction

Such a perfect setting

What better use for a Chapel


Of course sunshine

With blue skies, always helps


I take a second photograph

To remind me of the absence

I notice not only are mother and child missing

But also the Mother and Child is missing too


Of course sunshine

With blue skies, always helps


I could not rightly expect silence

In the busy, mid-summer coffee shop

Anyway why would I want that, for surely

Joyful laughter are what I wish to be reminded of


Of course sunshine

With blue skies, always helps
